JGP Lake Placid Ladies Free Skate

Ji Hyun Byun, KOR: 64.06 Total: 99.33

• Triple salchow
• Double axel + double toe right on the music 
• Triple toe with a good ride out if not the best position in her free leg
• She needs to hold her torso up a bit more in the camel spin but a nice donut position
• Triple salchow with a fall--just not enough power going into this jump
• Single lutz + double toe (first jump was popped)
• Triple toe fall
• Nice layback into a decent Biellman with speed maintained through the spin
• She has a nice look on the ice, she just needs more power, speed and confidence to really go out there and attack the jumps
• Some nice variety in her step sequence and well timed with the music but again not a lot of power
• Two foot and hand down on the double axel
• Combo spin with an illusion feature which didn't reach a full split or have straight legs

Netta Schreiber, ISR: 64.98 Total: 101.93

• She is all legs--should be able to hit gorgeous lines in her arabesques and spins but it does make jumping more difficult
• A lot of prep into her opening double loop
• Single axel had a lot of height and she didn't even pull all the way in for the jump--not sure if that was planned or popped
• Nice triple salchow
• Nice camel spin and a decent illusion variation into a nice upright catchfoot
• Double flip + double toe + double toe
• Her costume screams tango to me so it doesn't quite seem to fit the music
• Double salchow + double toe
• Double lutz + double toe
• Lovely positions in her layback spin with nice use of her arms but an awkward music cut toward the middle of her spin
• She could use more stretch through her legs in the step sequence and more push across the ice
• Double flip
• Nice position in her broken leg camel spin and picking up speed through the catchfoot variations
• She's got great spins and lots of potential but doesn't have the jump content to keep up with the top skaters

Tina Stuerzinger, SUI: 74.64 Total: 109.16

• Triple flip
• Triple toe + double toe
• Triple lutz fall--very hesitant going into the jump
• Popped salchow and a fall--again she's just lacking the confidence and attack to really go after these jumps
• Nice positions in her combo spin but it seems very slow with the music
• Double axel with only a small bobble on the landing
• Triple salchow + double toe + double toe
• Not a lot of transitions between the jumps--just moving from one element to the next 
• Triple toe
• Bent leg on the entry to the flying sit spin and bent free leg in her sit spin as well
• I feel like she's really just going through the motions in this choreography in the step sequence and she isn't performing the movement full out
• Decent flexibility through her upright spin but almost no speed through the rest of her spin

Nicole Rajicova, SVK: 70.66 Total: 109.04

• Popped lutz
• She has lovely flow through her arms and nice transitions between jumps
• Fall on a triple flip
• Nice speed through her camel spin and good change of positions throughout the combination spin
• Triple toe (hand down) + double toe
• She could stretch more through her free leg in the sit spin
• Triple toe a little wild in the air--looks like her legs never got pulled in--and a fall
• Single salchow
• I really appreciate that she isn't giving up on this program and still has a pleasant expression on her face despite the errors
• Lovely flow through her step sequence
• Double axel + double toe + double loop was solid
• Double axel + double toe
• Nice speed in her combination spin with good centering and nice positions
• Shame about the jumps today because she has the transitions and presentation skills

Beata Papp, FIN: 76.12 Total: 115.65

• It really is true that all the Finnish ladies are gorgeous.  She has the looks and height to be a model
• Triple toe turn out triple toe (a little two footed on the second jump)
• Great ride out on her double lutz
• Triple salchow + double toe
• Popped loop
• Good speed in her camel spin with nice position but she could use more flexibility through the catch foot
• She needs a better arm position and more arch through the layback
• I think she's almost there with her arms and could really set herself apart with a few ballet classes
• Double axel
• Triple axel Step out
• Single axel + double toe + double loop
• She's getting a little tired and not using her edges as much in this step sequence so you're seeing more choppiness and ice sprays on the change of edges
• Nice variety of positions in the combo spin and decent speed throughout

Josefine Taljegard, SWE: 80.57 Total: 122.99

• Triple toe + double toe with a gorgeous arabesque landing
• Solid triple flip
• Triple salchow + double toe with a little bobble on the landing
• Nice double axel
• The thing about wearing black pants is your leg line has to be perfect at all times or it will really show and her leg line was nice in her camel spin
• Flip out and hands down on that triple toe
• Some interesting moments of choreography in this program and a few come of awkward because she doesn't seem to be giving them 100% percent and committing to the character
• Nice musicality through the step sequence and nice use of her whole body
• Triple salchow with a low landing and a turnout but she keeps her free leg up
• Good double axel but neither one was done in sequence so she might lose a few points
• Nice speed in her sit spin
• Really nice camel position and interesting take on the Biellman with a one arm hold

Kako Tomotaki, JPN: 80.89 Total: 127.78

• Super high triple lutz + double toe
• Triple flip + double toe + double loop--she gets great spring on her first jump
• Popped loop
• Nice position in her camel with good speed but her skirt is attached at a weird spot on her body and seems to be too big so it's covering up a lot of her lines
• Nice double axel
• Triple loop with a turnout but she keeps the free leg up
• Really pretty layback spin into an almost pearl but an awkward music cut right in the middle of her spin
• Not a lot of speed and power in her step sequence but a good look and flow across the ice
• Nice triple salchow
• Good double axel + double toe
• Nice twisted upright position and great stretch and toe point in her sit spin

Alaine Chartrand, CAN: 90.01 Total: 133.43

• Really high triple lutz but she was tilted in the air and fell
• Good triple flip
• Triple loop with a turnout but she keeps her free leg up
• Nice speed in her sit spin with a nice ease in the change of foot
• Very fast in her camel spin but she needs a bit more flexibility through the catch foot position
• Difficult edge changes into the double axel with a turnout
• Triple lutz + double toe
• Triple toe + half loop + triple salchow
• She has better jumps than most of the Canadian senior ladies--if she could clean up some of her transitions and work on presentation she could do very well at nationals
• Triple loop + double loop a little wild
• Nice sit spin position into a good haircutter layback

Brooklee Han, AUS: 83.96 Total: 128.92

• Triple loop with a fall--looked like she over prepped for her takeoff and couldn't quite make all the rotatioans
• Fast rotations on her triple flip + double toe
• Nice double axel right on the music
• Triple toe + double toe--she has great spring and height on her first jump but seems to lose some of her momentum by the 2nd and can't quite cover the ice
• Nice layback spin but she could use her arms better to finish it off
• Triple salchow + double toe
• Triple toe with a fall
• Nice changes of edges and variety in her step sequence and good commitment to her choreography
• Triple salchow
• Nice speed through the donut variation into a nice low stretched out sit spin and ending with a beautiful Biellman with lots of speed

Angela Wang, USA: 105.69 Total: 150.40

• Solid triple lutz + triple toe + double toe to open her program (HUGE point getter)
• Triple flip + double toe
• Good triple loop + double toe
• I'm not sure if it's the way the program is choreographed but it seems like in some of the transitional movements she's rushing through from one thing to next without the chance to really finish anything off
• Double axel
• Good layback spin but a loss of centering on her Beillman
• Really nice triple lutz
• Good stretched sit spin position with good speed and nice flow out of the spin
• Her step sequence is gorgeous and is so well choreographed that it doesn't look like an element
• Double axel and a bit of an awkward landing just gets her foot caught
• Triple salchow
• Nice camel position into a good donut spin but not a lot of speed

So Youn Park, KOR: 85.04 Total: 137.37

• Nice triple lutz to open her program
• Double axel + triple toe with a step out
• Beautiful twisted camel position and a nice speed throughout her position changes
• Single loop--seemed a bit hesitant going in
• Interesting arms in her layback spin and a beautiful Biellman with maintained speed
• Double axel + single toe + double toe--she gets so much ice coverage in her jumps I think it's hard for her to control the combinations sometimes
• Nice triple salchow + double toe with a beautiful toe point in her jumps
• Fall on the triple flip
• Triple salchow, hand down and then a fall
• She has a lot of ice spray and is very choppy on this step sequence
• A lot of promising moments but too many jump errors may cost her a medal

Kiri Baga, USA: 94.42 Total: 142.22

• Nice speed and attack right at the top of the program
• Solid triple flip with beautiful landing position
• Triple lutz two footed but she hangs on
• Nice double axel + double toe with one arm variation on the toe
• Good tuck position in her sit spin with nice speed
• Triple toe + double toe + double loop with a bobble on the end as she doesn't have enough speed to continue the jump
• Triple salchow
• Triple toe
• Pretty spiral into a double axel (looked a little two footed)
• Upright spin into a sit spin and ending with a Y catch foot spin
• Good energy and use of her full body in the step sequence and on the whole a nice use of her edges and clean changes of edge
• Nice layback spin with good arm position and picking up speed thorugh the haircutter and Biellman

Satoko Miyahara, JPN: 106.89 Total: 161.65

• Triple lutz + triple toe with great speed on her rotations
• A little hoppy into her triple flip but nice landing
• Nice camel spin into a broken leg spin but a lot of traveling in the change foot and she doesn't achieve a full stretch through her upright catch foot spin
• Triple loop--she has such great deep knee bend on her landings that it allows her to really hang on to her jumps
• Nice double axel
• Good layback spin with pretty positions but loss of speed on the Biellman
• Good deep knees and edges in her step sequence but she really needs to work on softening her arms and hands to accentuate and finish off the movement
• Double axel + triple toe
• Triple lutz + double toe + double toe with a little bobble
• Triple salchow
• She needs more stretch through her sit spin
• Solid program on the technical side and she should go into first place

Evgenia Gerasimova, RUS: 93.38 Total: 145.66

• Triple flip
• Triple lutz + double toe--she throws her head back in her jumps and it changes her centering
• Beautiful Biellman spin with good maintaining of speed
• Triple loop with no speed out of the jump 
• Broken leg sit spin into a back tuck spin
• This step sequence seems very slow compared to some of the other top skaters here and she's really skating on top of the ice and not getting into her knees and edges
• Triple lutz with a fall
• Triple salchow + double toe a little wobbly
• Triple flip + double toe
• Double axel with a fall
• Nice transition from her camel to a spit spin and nice upright catchfoot spin especially with the length of her legs

• Super fast rotation on the triple flip + triple toe with great height
• Triple loop with great toe point in her jump
• Really nice layback position but not very stretched in her Biellman
• Ina Bauer into a nice triple salchow
• Flying entry to the camel spin with increased speed through the donut and catch foot variations
• Nice height on the triple loop + double axel sequence
• Triple lutz a little wobbly on the landing but she holds on

JGP Lake Placid Free Dance

Allik/Bellantuono, EST: 55.91 Total: 93.15

• She has a wonderful leg line
• Nice flip up to a lift behind his head with a change of position to laying on his leg while he's in a spread eagle
• Good timing and distance between them on the twizzles
• A little choppy in places on their first step sequence--they need to really get in their edges and push across the ice
• Beautiful Biellman position right into a lift with her wrapped around his neck and good speed on the rotation
• Back walkover onto his foot with her in a Biellman position but it seems like she may have hopped off early
• A little off on some of their turns in their second step sequence and her leg line doesn't always match his
• Only one position in the spin so they won't receive as many points
• Nice final rotational lift with her in a stag position over his shoulder but it looks like he's having trouble hanging on to her after the change of position

Aghai/Partanen, FIN: 61.60 Total: 99.91

• I'm not sure I'm in love with the red illusion mesh on her costume but otherwise I like the look of it although the long pieces that keep getting caught between her legs are making me nervous
• They traveled too close togehter on the twizzles and he had to put his foot down to avoid a collision
• I really like her presence on the ice and she has a fire in her eyes that really accentuates this program
• Neat rotational lift starting with her being held straight up and down and moving through two changes of position
• There is a nice ease in all of their change of holds 
• Nice lift with him in a spread eagle and holding her foot in the air while she balances in a haircutter but his spread eagle position could be wider
• I really love the way she uses her arms in this dance spin and uses them fully down to her wrist and finger movements
• I'd like to see them have closer matching leg lines and more stretch through their free legs in this second step sequence; they had a little bobble on a change of hold but got back into it
• Spread eagle lift with her standing on his feet and arching back
• Rotational lift with her being held by her arms but it seems like they're having a little trouble getting out of it

Tessari/Clafato, ITA: 44.47 Total: 79.56

• Haircutter rotational lift seemed slightly slow
• Very far apart on their twizzles but traveling very close together by the end and off on their unison
• I'm not in love with the gree under her skirt but I like the satin sheen as it differentiates her white dress from the ice
• They seem to have trouble getting back into the holds after the turns in the step sequence and are not pushing through their edges
• Decent dance spin but losing speed
• Handstand on his foot with a position change onto his legs while he's in a spread eagle
• Spread eagle curve lift with her wrapped around his waist and suspended over the ice
• They seem to be very off on their unison in this step sequence and I'd like to see better matching leg lines and their knees down into the ice 
• They could have had more power and intensity at the ending to really sell the ending of the POTO story

Yermak/Khimich, UKR: 56.06 Total: 101.08

• Nice stretch from her in the spread eagle lift with him holding her in the air in a Biellman
• Better edge work and unison in their leg line but they seem a little far apart in some of their holds
• One some of their transitional footwork I'd like to see them really go for it instead of just going through the movements
• Travelling apart during the twizzles but good unison
• He could stretch through his free leg on the dance spin and they could have more speed and a smoother change of direction
• She needs more stretch through her leg line in the second step sequence and she seems to be overly anticipating the change of holds instead of just letting them happen
• Nice jump with a twist into his arm for the one arm rotational lift

Heritage/Fast, USA: 60.88 Total: 102.81

• A few little bobbles on the twizzles but good unison
• One arm rotational lift with her in a catchfoot and a nice exit
• Beautiful spread eagle lift with her leg hooked around his shoulder and leaning back; I especially love her use of arms
• Really nice long leg lines and easy strokes across the ice in this step sequence with fast, easy changes of hold
• Nice changes of position in their dance spin but they've completely stopped by the end
• Lost the feed for their second step sequence
• Nice intricate changes of position in their straight line lift
• I really like their connection with this music and with each other in this program and I see a lot of improvement in this team

Pogrebinsky/Gudis, USA: 64.32 Total: 109.73

• She has lovely expression and a nice presence on the ice
• Flip un into a nice fast rotational lift with changes of position
• Nice timing on their twizzles but they get so close to each other in the 2nd set
• She has such long legs but I'm not sure she knows what to do with them yet as she doesn't always fully stretch through her leg
• Nice ease through their dance spin with good positions and easy changes of direction and nice speed throughout
• Great posture in their step sequence but a little bobbly on some of the changes of hold
• Nice one leg straight line lift with her bent back over the ice
• A little bobble on their shoot the duck in a transition movement
• A little awkward in some of these changes of position in the lift
• While their bodies seem a little tentative in places in the step sequence none of that shoes on their faces
• Overall they are a very young team and show a lot of promise and just have some polishing work to do to compete with the best

Bruser/Lum, CAN: 67.61 Total: 110.67

• A little wild on their twizzles and their unison suffered a bit
• Her Pirates costume is almost identical to Meryl's POTO costume
• Good matching leg lines and speed through their step sequence but she could work on her posture in places and not hunching over when she kicks her leg
• Nice straight line lift with a flip over him 
• Kick over hi head into a curve lift with him in a spread eagle position
• Interesting changes of position in their dance spin with a nice ease and good speed maintained throughout
• They seem to be getting good edges but are still choppy in their second step sequence
• She needs more flexibility in the split rotational lift as her legs aren't hitting 180 degrees

Aldridge/Eaton, USA: 83.32 Total: 136.80

• I LOVE her dress.  It's a pinkish/ivory with short sleeves and a lace back and a layered skirt
• She has such natural expression on the ice and they both really seel their programs and commit to the movement instead of just going through the movements
• Great ease in their position changes in the straight line spread eagle lift
• Great posture and use of her arms and upper body through this step sequence with nice speed
• Good edges and nice matching leg lines in their step sequence as well
• Beautiful double camel spin and nice change of position through their dance spin
• Good curve spread eagle lift with her arched back over the ice
• Great character in some of the transitional movements of this program--nice choreography
• Solid set of three twizzles with great speed and nice timing
• Nice changes of hold in their second step sequence with good edge work
• Haircutter rotational lift and she could have more stretch through her free leg
• Very solid program, nicely done!

Morozora/Zhirnov, RUS: 64.27 Total: 111.49

• She misses her blade on the jump into the first set of twizzles and takes a hard fall
• They seem to recover nicely and complete the next two sets of twizzles
• They both have nice extension in their legs and good matching lines through their first step sequence
• Leg around his head and a flip up to a haircutter hold for her in the spread eagle lift
• A little bit awkward getting up into their second lift but a beautiful arched position for her
• Nice positions in their dance spin with an awkward change of position
• Good speed in the rotational spin with a nice change of position but a little difficulty getting out of it
• A difficult edge sequence at the beginning of their second footwork sequence and nicely done
• Nice serpentine lift with him in a spread eagle and changing edges in the middle
• Great recovery after that fluke fall in the first seconds of the program

Kosigina/Moroshkin, RUS: 75.80 Total: 135.24

• Some hip hop moves to open up their Michael Jackson program
• Nice flip into their first rotational lift
• Good twizzles
• I'm really not crazy with their cuts and remixes of this music--they detract more than they add to the program
• Very nice edges in their footwork but they seem a little slow
• She needs more flexibility in their straight line lift with her standing on his blade and it looks like she fell out of it early
• She needs to watch her wrist in the step sequences as it sometimes just dangles there and breaks the arm line
• The feed went out through the middle of their program
• While they are technically good in comparison their program seems a bit more junior than Aldridge and Eaton's with some of the choreography and the music cuts

Poulin/Servant, CAN: 68.76 Total: 114.71

• Very nice edges in their step sequence and good matching leg lines; they both have such nice posture and carriage as well
• Nice flip up into a straight line lift with good changes of position
• Nice speed in the dance spin with good positions
• I really like the classic look of their costumes but I'm not sure I understand their music
• Good timing on their twizzles but very slow
• Curve lift with him in a nice deep spread eagle and her arched over the ice
• She bobbles on a turn in their step sequence and they lose a second or two
• He has a tad better stretch in his legs and she is losing her posture a bit at the end of this routine
